Copied by a single scribe. Probably of Swiss origin (KmetzH, who refutes StaeMI's proposed association with Rollet Stoss of Fribourg). Possibly acquired by present library in 1823, from collection of Remigius Faesch, a Basel lawyer.

26a: 10 paper folios, 320 x 220. New pencil foliation.
26b: 8 paper folios, 318 x 220. New pencil foliation. One red initial.
26c: (Organ treatise). The name "Osswald Holtzach" appears on page 1; whether he is the composer, scribe, or simply an owner of this part of the manuscript is not clear.
26d: 14 paper folios, ca. 318 x 220. New pencil foliation.
26e: 12 paper folios, ca. 318 x 220. New pencil foliation.
26f: 8 paper folios, ca. 315 x 220. Some folios are frayed around the edges. New pencil foliation. Modern orange paper cover. Some red and red/black initials.
26g: 1 paper partbook (T-4 folios), 160 x 212. New pencil foliation. No covers or index. A few initials are red.
26h: 11 individual paper fragments, ca. 220 x 315 (size varies, and most are so frayed that a size is difficult to specify). One green initial. The organ tablature in this part of the manuscript is attributed to "Joh. Kreys Organista."
The organ treatise (26c) is dated 1515; the two threnodies in 26g can be approximately dated from the fact that Bonifacius Amerbach died in 1562, his son Basilius in 1591; ca. 1520 for the rest of the manuscript (KirschQM).
